Father's Day

What a day. Father's Day is maybe a card day, mostly a way to sell greeting cards and is definitely not the day like Mother's Day. Fathers are not near as recognized as moms. Yes, there are many more things that moms do than dads most of the time but I believe that we are equal in so many ways.

Dads love, play, discipline, pray for our children. For me, my dad is my protector, even though I am no longer at home. He wants the best for me and wants the best for my children. For my kids, their dad is their playmate, protector and earner of our financial security. He has a love of God and wants the girls to have that same love for Him. He is teaching them that God is our father unlike our earthly father.

Brian has been an amazing dad even though he has girls! He loves them each so wonderfully. He plays with them in a way that I could never play. He has patience for them that I do not have. He watches cartoons and sings songs with them! It is so funny to watch him with the girls. I see so much of him in each of the girls. It is so funny!

Brian has a lot to fulfill as a dad because he does have 3 girls. He has the role of a man and the girls are learning what kind of man that they should find. I am so thankful that they have him to look up to. He is an amazing person and I am so blessed to have him as the father to my daughters!
